I was pleasantly surprised how much I didn’t want to put this book down! This was a unique story line that I’ve not read before. I enjoyed the characters, their development and the BANTER! I literally laughed out loud several times!

Olivia and Chuck have a very public, viral breakup. Chuck is an up and coming actor who meets Olivia when they are set up to conduct an interview. Olivia and Chuck are incredibly attracted to each other and hit it off right away. However they both have flaws that consistently impact their relationship. Enter the viral breakup video that leads to landing them the opportunity to win $1,000,000 (EACH). All they have to do is spend time together in a house for 1 month. What could possibly go wrong?

This book was amazing! I love the setting and the characters! I would definitely recommend this book to another romance lover.

This clever, forced proximity romance has chemistry off the charts, witty banter and ridiculous reality show challenges that will keep you entertained along the way.

Olivia Martin and Chuck Walsh can’t keep their hands off of each other and their explosive relationship combusts with a public breakup video that goes viral.

Olivia is a love child resulting from a cheating scandal of Hollywood Sweethearts and Chuck is a b-list actor who recently got fired from his last film. Both are broke and they get approached by a network for a reality show where they must stay in a house together for one month…however, there are several conditions:
1) No touching
2) There is only one bed
3) No internet

Between challenges and interviews pushing them towards one another, will they make it through the month and win the money?

This book has much more to it than I expected. I was rooting for them to fail because their chemistry is so hot! Very fun read that I could not put down and the characters really surprised me. This comes out just in time for summer! Mark your calendars for July 2024!

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for the advanced digital copy of this book.

Name your Price by Holly James was a fun read! I really liked the reality show/Big Brother vibe. I liked the characters and the vulnerability they showed. They both had character growth and I was totally rooting for them. In this book we meet Olivia and Chuck. Olivia and Chuck are both in the Hollywood world in some way. Chuck is striving to be an A list actor but after getting fired from a blockbuster movie his star is on the decline. Olivia's parents had her during a scandalous affair and have since past away leaving her feeling abandoned and with some insecurities. Olivia and Chuck have a bad breakup and somehow it was recorded and went viral. They have an opportunity to live together and make a lot of money. Can they stand to live in a house together for a month? Read to find out if they can overcome the challenges of living together under the watchful eye of cameras and how they deal with the drama of their circumstances.

I love Olivia and her relationship with her grandma. This book is so cute and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reality tv and Hollywood drama.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for an advanced reader copy of this book. This book will be published on July 30, 2024.

I will be posting this review to my Goodreads account that has 42 friends and 16 followers. I will also post it to my growing book account on Instagram that currently has 181 followers. I am working on growing my Instagram by making art in Procreate to go with my review. I will edit this review and add the one I make for this book. I leave thoughtful reviews for the books that I read,

After a video of their breakup goes viral online, the stakes are high and the sexual tension is even higher when Olivia and Chuck agree to getting locked in a house together for a month - all for a chance to win one million dollars.

Not quite enemies-to-lovers, Name your Price is a story about navigating life and love in Hollywood. Chuck wants to be in the spotlight; Olivia doesn’t. Olivia’s parents are both big names in Hollywood: Chuck’s aren’t.

I really loved this! The chemistry between Olivia and Chuck is explosive - in good and bad ways. This romcom is sexy, funny, and wholesome all at once.

Hits shelves in late July, but you should add it to your TBR now.

Thanks to NetGalley and Dutton Books for the ARC!

Thanks @duttonbooks for this @netgalley ARC of Name Your Price!

Okay CUTE?!?! I figured this would be a fun one and boy howdy was it. From the get go it is a wild ride, and the twists and turns made me laugh and also tugged on my heartstrings. I was rooting for them even while I was, yunno, not rooting for them.

Olivia and Chuck are on fire. Metaphorically, but also, if they don’t get some distance, possibly literally. The two are passionate to the extreme, either each others biggest fans or worst enemies, with absolutely nothing in between.

Chuck wants to make it big as an actor. Olivia wants to stay far from the spotlight that ultimately robbed her of her parents as a baby. They agree on everything or nothing, and their make-up then break-up roller coaster is seemingly endless.

Until their biggest fight yet makes it out onto the sidewalk, and someone catches it on camera. Suddenly, Olivia’s “you couldn’t pay me a million dollars to date you” is less of a parting barb and more of a… dare?

When a TV show offers each of them one million dollars to prove that they can stay away from each other while isolated in a house for a month, both of them are too desperate to say no. But falling for each other isn’t the only thing they’re good at - they’re also uniquely skilled at hitting the other where it hurts. The only problem is that going too far in either direction will cost them both.

As tensions rise and the producers raise the stakes, both of their histories bubble to the surface, and suddenly there’s a lot more on the line than just the prize.

There’s a lot going on here and it didn’t all quite work for me. It was only a matter of time before a book channeled too hot to handle, but the stakes felt underwhelming especially when they barely lasted. I didn’t buy the chemistry between the leads, and that everyone thought they were great if they allegedly were fighting that often.

The end resolutions were way too picture perfect I almost had to roll my eyes. I’ve enjoyed this author’s past work, but this missed the mark for me.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow wow wow what a unique and entertaining romcom✨

Olivia and chucks chemistry was amazing through this whole story, even when they were butting heads✨

great banter and pretty steamy 💖✨

I love the idea of a Love island/ big brother kind of story line! Reality Tv crossing over into book form was such a fun read✨

Second chance romance/ lovers to enemies to lovers ✨

Really got me in the mood for more romcoms in this style ✨

I loved the Story of Chuck and Olivia. It starts out as the two are in a terrible fight between the two and a break up. Of course who wants to start a book out that way? When you are famous - like these two are but in completely two different ways - it is kind of inevitable. A TV show sees a video that someone had posted of the fight online which is because it went viral. They want them to come on a show where they have to live together. The main theme is they are wanting them to get back together - objective they cannot leave the house or they lose the money. Do you think they can do? Or do you think they have too many differences? 🤔 What drew them together in the first place? And what inevitable tore them apart in the beginning? So many questions you are wondering .... You should definitely pick up the book and find out what happens between Chuck and Olivia! Let me know what you think of the two.

4 stars out of 5.

I really liked the premise of this book with the reality tv show and "Hollywood stars". It truly was very original and I don't think I have read anything like it. The book kept me engaged from the beginning and I really enjoyed how the book ended. Everything was wrapped up nicely. Now for the characters, I could not stand Olivia sometimes. It was so frustrating reading about her and how she kept running away from everything. Chuck was just an ok character but I really did like Olivia's best friend. Overall, I adored this book and am looking forward to reading more from Holly James.

In Name Your Price, we get to see Chuck and Olivia have an explosive break up that happened to be caught on camera. The video goes viral and they are both approached to be on a reality tv show. They will each get 1 million dollars if they can live in a house together for 1 month. They can't leave the house or they will lose. Also, there are another set of rules they must follow in order to win. Olivia and Chuck have explosive chemistry so will they be able to win the challenge? Read it to find out!

Thank you Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is the romcom to read right now. I enjoyed the fact that this book actually made me laugh out loud! I didn’t connect with the characters at first but once in the house together I really enjoyed the fmc and connected to her more. This was such a cute and quick read.

I was so pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this book! Holly James did a fantastic job with this! The plot was great! I read the synopsis and it sounded great but I had some doubts going in. By the halfway mark I didn’t put it down again until I was finished. It’s been awhile since I felt the way this romcom had me feeling. Olivia and Chuck were both likable characters. The progression of the show and learning more about them was paced perfectly. The book didn’t end when the show was over which I loved because that would have just felt so rushed. It definitely didn’t end how I expected it but I couldn’t have come up with a better ending if I tried. I really had fun reading this and I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author in the future!

Name Your Price follows Olivia, a writer, and Chuck, an up-and-coming actor, as they are thrown into the media spotlight after being recorded breaking up in public. They're offered an opportunity to go on a reality tv show to win $1 million if they can manage to coexist in a house together for a whole month - without internet or physical contact and a handful of challenges thrown their way. The stakes are high and their chemistry even higher, making the storyline of this book a nonstop entertaining ride. If you love reality tv, second chance romance and enemies to lovers tropes, you will really enjoy this adorable contemporary rom com.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for gifting me this ARC in exchange for my honest review! This is my first Holly James book and will absolutely not be my last. I adored everything about this book - the storyline, the way it was written, the characters... every bit of it I completely devoured in one sitting and couldn't get enough. Name Your Price is one of my new favorite reads!

Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP DUTTON for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
This book is expected to release July 30, 2024.

A different twist on your typical Hollywood/celebrity romance. We start out by witnessing an explosive break-up between the daughter of a famous 30-year-old scandal, Olivia, and recently fired actor, Chuck. A video of their break-up is leaked and goes viral, prompting an offer for them to star in a reality show called "Name Your Price". The two must live in a house together for one month while being watched around the clock. However, there's a catch! The two must not have any physical contact and of course, the producers are meddling to entice the two. Think "Too Hot to Handle" but with additional challenges (being handcuffed while building furniture, etc).

I had a difficult time with this one for a few reasons...

1) The premise is SO FUN. The execution was underwhelming. I had trouble connecting with the characters, and I found them (moreso Chuck) extremely unlikeable. Chuck, for a lack of a better phrase, gave me the ick. I never could find him trustworthy and I kept expecting some great big twist like in a thriller with him.

2) The reality show elements really could be amped up - give me more tension build-up, give more challenges that spice it up! It was lacking for me.

3) One of the the 'big reveals' at the end...wasn't a big reveal. It was regurgitated from a prior chapter. Some of the same words & phrasing, too. I think the first moment should have been eliminated so the whole backstory & reveal had its moment to shine.

4) I don't entirely buy the chemistry these two have together. It sounds like they just like to fight & makeup...I don't buy that the time they spent in the house and the minimal meddling interviews they had really sparked that much realization that they do in fact want to build a foundation.

All this to say...I'd totally watch this show. I love messy reality TV and especially "Too Hot to Handle"!

Thanks NetGalley for my ARC! I really liked the pacing and premise of the novel… I couldn’t put it down. Having said that, I wasn’t as invested in the characters as I would’ve liked to have been!!!! I think Name Your Price would’ve benefited from a duel p.o.v. Only because there were some question marks I had around Chuck and his motivations. Overall, a truly satisfying read and I enjoyed, it but would’ve liked to see the characters’ prior relationship flushed out a little more.

Thank you NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I initially wasn't sure how the whole reality tv show plot was going to play out, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was something refreshing that I had not seen previously. The back and forth between the characters kept me turning the pages for hours on end. Olivia's and Chick's chemistry was off the charts! I highly recommend this read.

Let's talk about this cover! Oh how i love the look and colors of this cover. First read by this author and it did not disappoint.

Was such a great feel good read and the plot and characters were awesome. The main character chemistry made the whole book. I loved the flashbacks from the start of their relationship and it made the characters seem real and made the feelings between the two just phenomenal.

I cannot wait for this author to write more i will read anything she writes. Just wonderful.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review.

I loved this book! It was such a fun read that I smiled all the way through it! The chemistry between Olivia and Chuck and the development of their relationship throughout the story from was perfect. I'm a big fan of reality tv, so the concept of the two characters trapped together was really fun for me. And I loved the flashbacks to the start of their relationship that brought some tenderness in with the heat. I can't wait to explore more books from this author.

Such a heartwarming HEA. The author describes herself as loving telling stories with big hearts and that’s exactly what this is. While some parts felt a little long and drawn out it was so cute. Would recommend for the big heart feelings.

This was heavily expositional and still didn’t feel like the plot had kicked off by the end of chapter 2 (9%). Not for me. Probably three to four stars from the target audience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin for the ARC.
